neptune reunites with Ghost

Jason "⁠neptune⁠" Tran has been added to Ghost's lineup to replace Kevin "⁠kRYSTAL⁠" Amend after turning 16 and becoming eligible to play ESL Pro League, dust2.us reports.

The 16-year-old had previously been a part of Ghost, but was benched in 2017 after it was revealed he was only 15 years old and thus ineligible to play. The move had implications for the North American team, as they had just qualified for EPL Season 6, prompting them to bring on Dallas "⁠Dallas⁠" Micks.

neptune turned 16 ten days ago and has reportedly been trying out for Ghost for some time, as he joined the team's ESEA roster and starting lineup yesterday.

neptune is now actually 16 years old

Joshua "⁠steel⁠" Nissan's squad has been on the lookout for a new fifth for a while, after kRYSTAL's time as a temporary member passed. In recent months, Ghost have been on an upwards curve, as the team surprised everyone at the Zotac Cup Masters 2018 in Shanghai, where they upset OpTic and also beat Natus Vincere in an overtime best-of-one at DreamHack Masters Stockholm.

The North American side's first showing with their new lineup will be October 2nd, where they go up against MIBR in their opening match of ESL Pro League Season 8. With neptune now old enough to join the team, Ghost have the following roster:

Canada Matthew "⁠WARDELL⁠" Yu
Canada Yassine "⁠Subroza⁠" Taoufik
Canada Joshua "⁠steel⁠" Nissan
United States Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen
United States Jason "⁠neptune⁠" Tran

He put out a twitlonger and to quote from it "In the end I was told it most likely wouldnt work out and ghost approached it very professional and steel talked to me about it." So it sounds like it definitely wasn't a result of toxicity rather other issues. Twitlonger: twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqlscl
